At the time I am writing this article, Autumn is officially 21 days, 18 hours, 59 minutes and 42 seconds away. Halloween is in 60 days, and Thanksgiving is in 84 days. By the time this article gets to you, all of these exciting days will be even closer.

Frankly, I couldn’t be happier about this. Fall has been my favorite season for as long as I can remember. As soon as September starts, there’s a special feeling in the air. It feels crisp, and the possibilities of new beginnings seem endless. The leaves with their magnificent colors seem to put the whole forest on display, and Soon the air will be chilled, and comfy sweaters will come out of drawers. Cinnamon candles will be lit, and jack-o-lanterns will be carved into spooky or cute creations. People will line up in droves to order pumpkin spice lattes, and the leaves will crunch under your feet as you walk.

With all the excitement surrounding fall, it can be easy to get overwhelmed. Take time now, before the magic starts, to create your fall bucket list. The possibilities for enjoying this blessed season are truly endless, but here are a few of the items that are going on my personal bucket list:

Go on a picnic

Have a bonfire, complete with s’mores

Take a nature walk, and collect the prettiest fall leaves

Press those leaves in between two sheets of wax paper and make place mats

Go apple picking and buy fresh apple cider

Go to a pumpkin patch and select the best carving pumpkin you can find

Go on a hayride

Visit a corn maze (haunted if you live on the edge)

Enjoy a pumpkin spice latte, and pumpkin spice tea

Decorate your room for the season (dorm or regular)

Watch all the Disney Channel Halloween movies

Make a list of cheesy scary movies and watch them all

Read a mystery novel outside in the crisp Autumn air

Make cute Halloween costumes from craft store supplies

Bake an apple pie, pumpkin pie, and pumpkin bread

Attend the apple festival in Asheville, NC

Watch football games

Make a list of everything you are thankful for

These are just a few of the things you could do in the fall. Whatever you do, make sure to fully soak in the magic of harvest season, and be grateful of the bounties in your own life. Trick or treat!

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
